Over The Top: WWI

The enormous scale of the battles drew me in but once I started playing, I realized how boring it gets. It's the same thing, over and over.

A super fun time. Over the Top is very akin to Holdfast or Isonzo, but make it a wee bit goofier. Ragdoll effects and tremendous amounts of gore. Everyone I've played with is super fun and friendly, have a really good time in voice chat. Once you get the hang of the learning curve for shooting its an absolute blast, even in dying or losing matches I have a lot of fun. Right now it feels as though there is a community but the community is rather small, so at any given time you can probably only hop onto one or two servers BUT more become active on certain days/ times. I will support the devs on this game. I've played for 8 hours as of this review and can see my self putting much more into it. If you dig online war games and dont mind the bugs or simple jankyness of the game, its a great time.

This game is fun, campy, and gives you the freedom to be creative. Last night was my first time playing and the boys were on let me tell ya! The proximity chat paired with the combat and engineers' crazy construction makes this game a chaotic blast! There were a ton of real players on after work hours but I will note that today (I'm off work), there is nearly no one on during work hours. That isn't really an issue as I'm rarely on during the work day. I enjoy this game far more than Hell Let Loose (WW2).

battlefield 1 but better

very good game I am french and see english crying VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was one of the best things that appen in my entire life

This game feels a little arcadey but in a good way. It plays a lot like Battlefield 1943 movement/momentum wise; it definitely is a more visually and tonally colorful/upbeat experience than a game like Battlefield 1 which leans much farther into the grotesque "horrors of war" type of vibe. Battles are huge and I feel the walking around endlessly you get in a game like Hell Let Loose has been drastically cut down in this for the sake of fun. Vehicles also feel a lot less oppressive in this game, you don't really see the "3 guys dominating the whole round from the same tank nearly uncontested the entire time" thing you get in Hell Let Loose or even Battlefield games. Graphics are alright. They certainly don't look better than a game like BF1 but they don't really need to be and it might be for the best so the scale of this game + too high of fidelity doesn't set the average gamer's RIG on fire.

This is a game where battles can involve up to 200 players—personally, I’ve seen peaks of 170–180 on the server. Recently, a new DLC was released—which I bought—featuring heavy cavalry-style skins for armored soldiers, but I’d like to point out that there isn't actually any cavalry in the game; it would be great if they added it as a class for certain maps. It would also be good to see the Eastern Front and more nations included, since the game is about World War I and Russia was a major participant. It would be excellent to have Russia, the Provisional Government, and the Bolsheviks represented—given the timeline spanning 1917 and 1918—and it would be really cool to see scenarios like the German offensive against the Bolsheviks in Russia or the Battle of Tannenberg.
